Poetry inspired by Nick Cave from Roy Duffield

How I Feel About Our Father

                                                    after Nick Cave

under the cold sunshine
cracked and bloody
fingers
weep

through the swollen cotton-ball cloud
a golden mo(u)rning-
only after
peeps

I've got nothing to say to him.

He, not even an eye for me.
